Instruments: Piano
I began teaching when I started studying with Berklee. Admittedly, I wasn't entirely sure how to take on such a job, but soon discovered that it was something that came naturally to me, and something I enjoyed doing. I have taught students of varying levels, from a complete beginner unable to read any music, to someone who was able to sightread proficiently. I like to take the time to know what my student's goals are, and help them work towards achieving them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Music Keyboard
I have been teaching private lessons since High School, and have maintained a home studio ever since. I have taught young students of all ages in one-on-one settings in my studio, as well as in classroom settings as a group strings teacher and as an orchestra and general music teacher at a K-8 charter school. I bring with me years of experience in bringing music to life for kindergarteners, teenagers, and everyone in-between (I enjoy teaching adults, too)! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I let the student decide what the lesson is to be like. There are a lot of things to cover, but I will adapt what I think is the best teaching style for the student based on things like what he or she wants to learn. If you are interested in electronic music production, I can even teach lessons in Ableton Live. I am very well versed in all aspects of pro audio and would love to share and teach my knowledge.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music
My methods are adaptable based on the student's previous or current instruction with private teachers or their school teachers. For all students I love to play along and model concepts for them. I involve a lot of kinesthetic movement based lessons along with visual and aural aids. I get to know the type of learner my student is and then plan my instruction to fit their learning style. I am a fan of etudes and short technical exercises as well as long tones for intermediate to advanced students. Read More

For beginning students I always begin with a methods book, I believe that good fundamentals are what makes a good musician, but I also teach ear training methods thereby giving the student the best in both worlds. Once the fundamentals and foundation are efficient, then according to the instrument I move to solo repertoire or experimentation or interpretation. I believe finding a students passion and making the learning experience as educational and enjoyable as possible. Read More

I take the great things about the Suzuki Method and use them (fun, creativity, by-ear learning, group jams). Then I take the things I don't like about the method and disregard them (pre-established repetoire, no composition or improv). I teach kids how to concentrate, how to teach themselves, how to ignore distractions, and the philosophy for joyful performance without nervousness. The result has been that I have trained hundreds of children to have fun playing music well, plus four of my child students have become national acts. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For techniques and learning songs, If you feel like you are stuck, slow it down. This is the advice that I have gotten from every single teacher that I had so far. SLOW IT DOWN until you feel comfortable with playing it.
Another thing is, always have a practice plan, what I always suggest to student, is to have a practice time sheet. For example, for first 1 hour, you will do rudiments, for second hour you will do sight reading practice, and for 3rd hour, your will practice on the music you are assigned or trying to learn. It is very easy to lose focus in while practicing, and having practice plan will help you to have an efficient practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every one must be ready to take my lesson as long as they have passion and love for music.
Level and age don't matter in my lesson, I will be welcoming any kind of student from any age.
In my opinion, there should not be any requirement to start taking lesson except love of music. If your child loves to listen to music, taping table with music, sing, or anything, he/she is ready to learn music. The most important thing is to have fun and motivation, as long as students have a passion towards music, they already are students.
When will I start to see results?
It definitely depends on what a student is aiming for. If he/she is seeking to learn a song, you can obviously see a result when they are able to play. In my experience, from any level of student, they will be able to learn a song that they desire within 2 weeks or a month.
If he/she is seeking to be able to play improvise, I would say it will take 2,3 years to improvise on music.
If he/she is seeking to learn every 26 American rudiment, it will take 1,2 years to learn every one of them. Hope I answered this question, but in a nutshell, it really depends on what a student wants to learn.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a teacher that I was taking a lesson, when I got into music, for me the best teacher is musicians that you are always listening to. To be a good musician, you have to listen to a lot of music and get inspired. When I was 11, I started to listen to Guns 'N' Roses, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, so on and so forth. I got inspired by them by simply listening to their music, I always want do to play music like them, that is what made me started to learn music.
But to be specifically about a teacher that I had in the past. Dave DiCenso, is definitely the teacher I got inspired for the most. He taught me how to be an over all good drummer, how to listen to other musicians on a gig, and how to play drum set musically. These things boosted my enthusiasm towards music, and I went into music way deeper after taking him as my private teacher.
